KIS In a way you are right, like the Greek "proof" that follows:

An Arrow aimed and launched at a wall never hits the wall.

At some point after the arrow is launched it will be 1/2 way to the wall.

An another later point the arrow will divide the distance again by 1/2. The arrow will be 3/4 the distance from the wall.

An another later point the arrow will divide the distance again by 1/2. The arrow will be 7/8 the distance from the wall.

An another later point the arrow will divide the distance again by 1/2. The arrow will be 15/16 the distance from the wall.

You can continue to divide the distance to the wall, by 1/2, infinitely, and thus, the arrow will never arrive at the wall.

Perfectly logical proof that arrows never reach their destinations.

However we know that arrows do reach walls and paper profits are taxable.

This is known as COMMON SENSE.
